Renovations Week 3






Well this was a big week - things moved forward fast and furious. Team Liz even spent some nights sleeping elsewhere due to a lack of toilet, shower and sink! Here are some of the noteworthy accomplishments from this past week. Beginning and finishing the laying of the kitchen floor (as seen on left). On Wednesday the tiles were removed around the hardware in the shower necessitating Team Liz's departure from the apartment (as seen on right). By Thursday the toilet and sink were gone and the plumber had been and gone and changed the internal fixture for the shower.




Thursday also saw the arrival of the carpenters who installed our kitchen cabinets. I will admit that I nearly cried when I walked into our kitchen on Thursday afternoon to see the new cabinets installed and to know that our goal of a new kitchen was within reach. Finally between Friday and Saturday the bathroom was regrouted. Whew - what a week!
